Proven Winners announced Noah Derohanian as the new director of product development.
In this role, he'll ensure only the best quality plant material is sent to propagators to ensure success from the greenhouse to the retail bench to the garden.
"I couldn’t be more excited to build on the relationships I already have with our stock facilities as well as being at the forefront of the quality products being shipped to our propagators," Derohanian said.
Derohanian follows in the footsteps of John Gaydos, the first-ever Proven Winners employee, who has been mentoring Derohanian throughout the stock season. He will continue to do so, providing valuable insights and guidance to maintain the company’s high standards and continue its tradition of excellence until his retirement in April.
"I am looking forward to working with Noah as we move through this transition," Gaydos says. "I have worked with him over the last seven years and truly admired his leadership skills, cultural knowledge and love for life. It is my pleasure to have Noah join the Proven Winners organization."
For the past seven years, Derohanian has been the lead grower at Pleasant View Gardens, overseeing six growers and managing 8 acres of greenhouse space.
He holds a bachelor's degree in environmental science from Southern Connecticut State University and began his career at Clinton Nursery.
